HOW IT IS NOW

(written 24/7/99)

Suddenly, deep within me
Pain strikes its resounding gong
And I try, I try so hard
To be myself and to remain strong

But everything hurts
I don't understand why
What is wrong? I wonder
As I try not to cry

I feel out, I feel misled
But more than all confused
Where am I going and what have I done
How many have I used?

I wish I could start afresh
And be a better me
Then maybe I'd feel more whole
With more dignity

But when and where does change begin
And do I really care?
It may sound harsh - I suppose it is
Still, I must be fair

It seems my heart doesn't fit

Where can I empty it out?
How much longer must I sit and wait
With pain and endless doubt?

Take me away from this world I despise
For I am the cause of my true love's demise

I want to scream and yell and cry
What's the matter with me?
Is there no-one, no place at all
That someone needs me be?

Cold and alone, scared and confused
My life can't be as bad as it seems
But one way or another something must give
To release me into liberty.

~Hey buddy.....this is the place where you empty it out....trust me, it helps...even if just a little...it's progress. Please try to smile...you're poem was wonderfully written with your emotions beaming from the text.
